This evening Hailey went into the guest bathroom, picked up her potty, carried it into the living room, set it up in front of the tv, pulled down her pants, and proceeded to make her first peepee ever on the potty. It was craziness! She just turned 18 months last week! I know that she has been practicing at school, but that was a pretty decisive peepee event. I'm not expecting any miracles here, but I'm so excited that she understands the concept because we had never sat her on that particular potty naked before today. Pretty impressive. And, yes, it is a bit strange that I am so excited about someone peeing in my living room, but parenthood is full of many firsts.
Anyway, the rest of our weekend was considerably less exciting. Everyone in the house is sick. I have the adult version of croup, Luke had some one-day flu thing yesterday, and Hailey threw up all over her carseat today for no apparent reason. Just another exciting weekend in the Hamilton household.

Yea...for Hailey she's just growing up so quickly. It's great that you can have such happy thoughts during a weekend filled with colds, flu and croop. It just shows that each little step is full of big accomplishments. We love the picture of our beautiful little girl and we're glad she is such a happy baby.
Love,
Grandma
Ironic, isn't it, that at both ends of the life cycle, both young children and old men, we can all be excited about a good peepee! Even sitting on the potty, she looks adorable. I have to look up in the garage and see if I saved her mommy's potty chair.
Love,
Grandpa Pete
Great news. Now advice: If she is showing interest, you need to pursue it. When she's home, ask her occasionally if she needs to go. Show her/buy her "big girl" panties and ask if she'd like to wear them. There are plenty of great potty videos for kids. "It's Potty Time" is a classic. Warning: if she is wearing the panties you'll need to contain her in an area that is easily cleanable.
Can't wait to see you both! Love - A. Ann
